Diodorus Siculus

Important Writings

Sicyonians were Dorians

That the Sicyonians, those of the neighboring district, were Dorians is evident in many places besides Diodorus Siculus at 7.9.1 (“Fragments of Book VII” in the Loeb Library edition) where he states: “it remains for us to speak of Corinth and of Sicyon, and of the manner in which the territories of these cities were settled by the Dorians.”
